Forms design can become sooo tedious. For example you only want to check out a few layout ideas, but the filling of fields with placeholder texts alsways suspends your work.
Other applications such as InDesign give you an opportunity to add placeholder texts (also know as dummy texts), but so far Designer does not.
So far, because with this macro you're now able to simplify your work.
Just select a text, text field, list field or dropdown list, start the macro und edit the desired placeholder texts.
A final click on OK, that's it. Really simply, isn't it?!

While browsing through the XFA specification I recently found a property to control the alignment of object borders.
The "hand" property controls if the borders and edges of an object are rendered even on the object boundary respectively left or right from it.
This is very useful when you use thick borders, that should not project into the field and then potentially overlay texts in the field.
Or, if you want that the borders are only rendered within the object boundaries so they don't cover any other objects in the form.

The same function is available in other apllications such as Illustrator, where it is named "Align Stroke".
In opposition to Designer you there can control this settings easily from a dialog.
Designer always renders all borders even, means in the middle of the object boandary.
To change it your only way is to modify the XML source.
But, worse things happen at sea and this task is just easy.
